- The Maya pyramids are structures built in the jungles of Central America by the Maya civilization between 200 and 900 CE. The sides of Maya pyramids are typically stepped-sometimes for the purpose of enabling people to ascend to the top. The Mesoamerican pyramids (including Maya) tend to have flatter tops. These flatter tops accommodate certain ceremonies, such as sacrificial rituals, and temples for gods.
The pyramids served a variety of very important functions. Apart from the religious ceremonies, Maya pyramids were used as landmarks to aid in navigation. In the jungle where these pyramids were built, the pyramids were so tall that they could be seen above the trees. Finally, inside some of the pyramids, there were burial chambers for the highest ranking officials.
